Everytime I import a file via right clicking > Import. It will always go to some random bin that I don't want it to. Each project it's a different bin. Even if I right click > import on the bin I want it to import into, the file will still go to some pre determined default folder. Usually one of my Footage folders a couple of layers down.

This same thing happens when created titles. I usually have to do a search to find the files. When I used CS2 and 3 I never had this problem.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to not have it go to a pre determined default bin? Or can I change that Bin?

Currently the only way I can get a file to go into the folder I want via importing is when I drag and drop it from my explorer window. I don't use the CS5 media browser because It doesn't have thumbnails.

My Bin Structure is pretty straight forward. Nothing special the only layered bins are my footage bins where they are separated into scenes.

Your import scenarios are what they should be and what I have had in the past with CS2 and 3. But with 5 it has been a no go. Where do the titles you create go? Mine go into the random default folder. Where as before I use to be able to highlight the bin I wanted the title to be created in, now that doesn't work.

You're saying that when you right-click directly on that AE Comps bin, choose Import, find a file, etc., that the file appears at the top level of the Project Panel, rather than inside that bin?

If you right-click on a bin icon, the bin name and the rest of that line should light up, and then I'd expect the file to arrive in that bin. If you click somewhere and the bin does not become selected, then you're not importing into that bin, you're importing into the highest visible level in the Panel.

With this specific bin structure, if I import as you described the file imports to the Reception Bin. I tried the same proceedure with highlighting>righ clicking> and importing, files to all bin levels even to the root level not inside a bin and it still goes to the reception bin. So for what ever reason for this project I am working on now the Reception Bin has become the default bin.

This holds true for titles as well, they get created in the reception bin.

I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I presort my footage into folders then "import folder" into the footage bin. I thought it might have something to do with the last bin I created or imported became a default bin but in this scenario. The Receception bin is the second to last folder I imported/created.
